An experimental study has been peformed to develop a scheme for fault detection and diagnosis(FDD) in a vapor compression refrigeration system. This study is to analyze fault effect on the system performance and to find efficient diagnosis rules for easy determination of abnormal system operation. The refrigeration system was operated with a variable speed compressor to modulate cooling capacity. The FDD system was designed to consider transient load conditions. Four major faults were considered, and each fault was detected over wide operating load range by separating the system response to the load change. Rule-based method was used to diagnose and classify the system faults. From the experimental results, COP degradation due to the faults in a variable speed system is severer than that in a constant speed system. The method developed in this study can be used in the fault detection of refrigeration systems with a variable speed compressor.

This paper discusses study of sensorless control of a variable speed switched reluctance motor (SRM) for electric AC compressors on electrical vehicles. A typical SRM drive requires a position sensor such as an encoder or hall sensor to measure the angular rotor position. However, harsh environment in electrical AC compressors for electric vehicles makes it difficult to use the position sensor in their motor drive system. Therefore, a sensorless control scheme for electric compressor motors utilizing magnetic characteristics of SRM with respect to position angle and phase current is proposed. The overall variable speed SRM drive with position sensorless control scheme has been modeled using Matlab/Simulink software and closed loop current control simulation is presented to validate the proposed sensorless drive control.

In the present study, various experiments were performed to investigate the capacity modulation and transient response control using a variable speed compressor and electronic expansion valve(EEV). Based on the experimental results, the operation control algorithm and real time digital control system were constructed to adjust the superheat at the inlet of the compressor. Superheat control was fulfilled using both the PI feedback controller and PI controller combined with a feedforward concept. As a result, the tracking performance of the latter was better than that of former.

A precision of temperature control in the manufacturing process would be an important factor and become the main key to control production quality. Mostly manufacture machinery used oil as a coolant in their system so an accurate oil temperature control system become an absolute need in industrial field. This paper presents a experiment research to control the oil temperature constant at target point, in this experiment is $35^{\circ}C$ by using an inverter attached in compressor to varying the compressor speed. This control has been completed and tested through an experiment with different heat load of 4kW, 6kW, 7kW, 8kW and 10kW given under temperature constant room conditioned as $25^{\circ}C$. The results had shown the temperature deviation in the refrigerator has around $0.2^{\circ}C$ and the COP is 2.5 gained at 8kW and 10kW.

With the improvement of standard of manufacturing process, oil cooling unit for manufacturing machine has been developed. A control system must be designed in order to keep oil temperature of the machine within a very restricted range and also to reduce energy consumption. In order to get the low deviation of the controlled temperature and the low efficiency, the on/off control scheme is gradually being replaced by a variable speed refrigeration system (VSRS) with an inverter driven compressor over recent decades. This paper gives the flowchart to control the compressor speed and also the electronic expansion valve (EEV) aperture in oil cooling unit refrigeration system using R22 as the refrigerant. This control scheme has already tested in experiment apparatus with room temperature condition constant at $25^{\circ}C$ and variable load condition at 4kW, 6kW, 7kW, 8kW and 10kW.

Turbo compressor needs high speed rotation of impeller in structure, high rated gearbox and conventional induction motor. This mechanical system increased the moment of inertia and mechanical friction loss. Resently, the study of turbo compressor applied super high speed motor and drive, removing gearbox made its sire small and mechanical friction loss minimum. This paper describes the implementation of the vector control schemes for a variable-speed 131㎾ PMSM(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) drive in super-high speed application.

Turbo compressors need high speed rotating impeller in structure, high rate gearbox and conventional induction motor. This mechanical system increased moment of inertia and mechanical friction loss. Recently turbo compressor has adopted a super high-speed motor and driver and have made its size smaller and mechanical friction loss at minimum. In this paper, variable super high - speed motor controller, compressor controller and MMI controller are implemented with only one DSP (TMS320VC33) chip for a 150HP, 70,000rpm direct drive turbo compressor. It was required hardware and software integration. The result of integration, Controller hardware became simple and all control software are developed same developing tool. The implements turbo compressor meets the requirements.

This study was conducted to find performance evaluation method for automobile air conditioner. Experimental facilities were constructed to simulate wide range of operating condition for the automobile air conditioner. Compressor speed was controled by variable speed electric motor and the power was measured through torque transducer and tachometer was used to measure compressor speed. Parametric studies were conducted in this study, to figure out effect of environment variables on the performance of the automobile air conditioner. The environmental variables are inlet air temperature, relative humidity and air flow rate for the evaporator and inlet air temperature and air flow rate for the condenser. Compressor speed is also changed. The results of this study shows that air flow rate of the evaporator is more sensitive to the performance of the automobile air conditioner than the other variables. However relative humidity of the inlet air of the evaporator strongly affects capacity rather that COP.
